Facial recognition is a biometric security system that identifies a person from a digital image or video frame. Unlike fingerprints and iris recognition, the facial recognition system focuses on the facial features of a person. Facial features such as cheek bones, and the distance between eyes, and eye-brows are the factors that are used to differentiate customers; therefore, the need for physical contact of the subject for identification is not necessary. The facial recognition technology, though being relatively new, can be integrated into the existing surveillance systems. The market today is primarily driven due to technological advancements with a focus on developing efficient surveillance systems having the highest demand in both civil and government agencies due to rising incidences of criminal and terrorist activities and increasing fraud cases across the globe. Technological innovation nevertheless are positively influencing the market, as 3D facial recognition technology is now being integrated into facial recognition systems which can scan images in all environmental conditions. The 3D integration would support better object recognition and overcome barriers of 2D facial recognition such as light and pose deflections of an object. Covert monitoring of an individual could be a threat to privacy and would be a hindering factor to the growth of the market. Increased adoption of facial recognition technology in web applications for picture tagging, social interaction, and others nevertheless is expected to drive the demand for facial recognition system..
